A Quintessential Main Street

With a population of 766 and a walkable downtown area, this bedroom community offers a small-town feel with plenty of charm. Located just 30 minutes from the Omaha-Metropolitan area, residents and guests can enjoy sunny days at Millstone Park with family and friends or launch their canoes/kayaks in at the boat ramp and enjoy a lazy float down the Nishnabotna River. It is a perfect spot for fishing or enjoying some bird and wildlife watching, making it an exceptional tourist spot. Guests can enjoy a relaxing evening with dinner and drinks at The Bar’N and Grill, then take in a movie at the historic Dreamland Theater (40 years in the making and run by volunteers on the Carson Community Club). The city’s 11,000 square foot Community Center boasts a fitness center, meeting rooms, rental facilities and historical memorabilia where residents and guests can get a peek into the city’s local history.

Carson is host to the legendary and award-winning Carson Community Rodeo every August at the Ray Carr Arena. This action packed, three-day event draws in visitors from all over the United States, featuring award-winning livestock and world-class entertainment from Three Hills Rodeo, and Professional Rodeo Announcer, Anthony Lucia. The rodeo has won PRCA’a best small rodeo of the year for 12 years in the Great Lakes Circuit! This is an event you do not want to miss!
